Bi-amping Rules


I wasn't sure if this question belongs in the amp or the speaker section but I figured I'll post it here. Those of you who have bi-amped your speakers, what's the general rule for deciding which amplifiers are better for low frequency vs. the high frequency drivers. I recognize an accurate answer will depend on the particular speakers and amp combinations but I'm looking for general rules of thumb from personal experiences and not application specific recommendations. For the sake of the argument, let's assume the amps are different but the gains on both amps can be adjusted if that matters. Thanks.

I read through this thread and maybe I missed it but what about amps that have been designed to work together in a bi-amp configuration?
I have a Marantz PM-11s3 and Marantz talks about how these have been designed to work in tandem with each other in a bi-amp configuration.
The PM-11s3 owners manual shows how to connect two and configure them with one being the control amp/pre and the other the slave unit providing just the amp and locking out its pre.
I wonder if these types of designs work well or is it just a sales gimmick? 

I think even passive bi-amp or tri-amp can achieve great results no?tubes or low power class a for the horns on mids and highs for example, and a high damping factor high power class d for the woofer driver...

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.
Yep identical transfer function otherwise you are just flavor shopping aka chasing your tail

i bet the guy w two Aesthetix Atlas system kicks some major jams out !!!!!!!
Vertical bi-amping with identical amps.
👍 Yes vertical bi-amping is the way if the amps are identical.

Or horizontal bi-amp a good class-A or A/B or tube on the mids and highs and a class-d on the bass.
